Before dawn, the ink is breathing
Black river under paper skin
I write your name without a sound
Then watch the morning take it in
A candle leans beside the window
A moth is circling the blue
The courtyard holds its old cold water
Like it has been waiting too
I came from rain and foreign stations
With a heart I could not read
Now every brushstroke turns to silence
Now every silence turns to need
Ink before dawn
Dark flower in the water
I loved you like a shadow
Too late to call it home
Ink before dawn
One line and then another
If daylight finds this letter
Let it say I let you go
The bamboo knocks against the eaves
A small reply from empty air
I hear the world prepare for morning
But I am still kneeling there
Your face is not a painted face
It moves behind the paper white
The more I try to make you stay
The more you vanish into light
I should fold the grief and seal it
I should leave the table clean
But love has made my hand a river
And the river follows me
Ink before dawn
Dark flower in the water
I loved you like a shadow
Too late to call it home
Ink before dawn
One line and then another
If daylight finds this letter
Let it say I let you go
When the sun lifts up the roofline
All my words will look so small
Still the ink remembers everything
The mouth could not say at all
